Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: emc1812: reject channel index 0 in device tree config
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:25:43 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716002543.26711-1-skunkolee@gmail.com> (raw)
Channel index 0 is reserved for the internal diode and is set
unconditionally before parsing child nodes. If a child node specifies
reg = 0, it silently overwrites the internal diode label
Reject reg = 0 in child nodes and improve the error message to
include the invalid index value.
